"If you are going to use one of the FA sigs, use one that is less then 100k in size. Preferably one that is a lot less then that. I have seen some HUGE sigs. This one for example… http://www.followtheangel.org/albums/album03/ug0df9f1.gif It is ONE MEGABYTE!!! lol. Folks we are pushing about as much traffic as a porn site!!! Not to mention when you use huge sigs.. they make the forums lag for everyone!"
*whistles innocently* wonder whose that is....
heh i'll switch to the static img, just delete that one ;)
-
done and done
-
lol, you must have been like 2 gigs of the taken bandwith with that sig :)
-
*bump* You guys...
I changed the path of all those huge sigs to break the links on purpose. For those of you who just changed your IMG tag to point to the new path .... you are missing the point and defeating the purpose.
You can use the big sigs all you want. Just sign up here. http://www.imageshack.us/ Have them host them please not us!!!
It's using TOO MUCH BANDWIDTH! imageshack is free...
Thank you.

Np if any1 wants ne thing hosted ive got like 98 MBS left on domaindlx.
-
rofl. You can use it... just host it somewhere else... lol ;) I thought it looked really neat tho... just like... cut the frames in half or something.
If any of you want.. I can get flash sigs working
-
*bump*
-
ahhhhhhhh Likwidtek!!! I knew you for nightmares eye! im so disappointed!
in the words of Soma, done and done.
-
well i can't find anyone else to host it, it's to big ;)
-
*bump*
-
exactly. by the way your avatar RULES!!!!!!!!! HAHAHA THE TRUFFLE SHUFFLE!@^%$!@%^! "CHUNK!!! DO THE TRUFFLE SHUFFLE!!!!"
-
www.boomspeed.com will also host images, if that's any help at all. They randomly stop new users from signing up, though, so be warned.
-
cool thanks!
-
I solved the problem for now.
All signatures hosted in the images section have been moved to my own space. For those that wish to lower the bandwidth usage, just make some minor adjustments to your signature hyperlink.
The images are hosted in the folder: http://home.ec.rr.com/chrissnow/pics/
All of the filenames are identical to the ones being hosted here, but with the domain and directory changed.
For instance, mine used to be:
http://www.followtheangel.org/albums/album039/LibertasSig.gif
now it is,
http://home.ec.rr.com/chrissnow/pics/LibertasSig.gif
Feel free to follow suit.
I've not exceeded my limits as far as size, so I can probably fit a few more. As for the page views, we'll see. I work for my ISP so I'll be the first to hear. If that happens, I'd be happy to explore a donation for increased bandwidth.
-
thanks asha, i'll keep that sig limited to this forum only ;)
-
I put it up on the official site too. I'd rather push the maximum faster if that's turns out to be the situation. This is really just an alternative to save everyone the hassle of having to find a place to host it. Good luck!
-
Thanks so much for your help Asha. You guys are kicking butt. :-D

I was updating my bio (I did my characters fiction, many should enjoy it) and for some reason none of my hosted images from avatar, to portrait, to sig were viewing. I went to the hosted images directly and they popped up. Then I came back to the page and the imaged were up. I was thinking they were cached from a visit to the site, but I only looked at one of them to make sure it was there.
I think time will tell here, so we'll take a wait and see attitude to see if the sig hosting works.
-
it's working fine for me

Features Included
5 MB of disk storage space
250 MB of monthly transfer capacity.
Use of any applicable software - you can use any standard software for creating and publishing web pages and sites.
If we did 10GB of transfers over the course of the month, I'll have to take a look at what's happening. It looks like you can increase the amount of space you receive, so hopefully we can increase the amount of transfers. I don't think I'll exceed this limit by Monday, which is when I can check with the powers that be. Worst case is that an email would be generated and mailed to me, I'll see what I can do.
-
the goonies rock!!!
-
So far so good, I checked with abuse this morning and they said they hadn't seen anything from the system; so everything over here checks out.
-
i wont put a sig up if that helps
-
No I actually encourage you to do so. If there's a limit that they enforce, I'd like to find it sooner rather than later.
-
heheh hey also.. to make the upload and searching of images on your server easier... you need some help installing a gallery of some sort? It's easy to setup and you can make it where people can upload their own sigs.
-
It depends on how much space the gallery script would take up. I kind of like adding the sigs on my own, so I can get rid of other files when needed to stay within my space limits. Once I've been able to host these for a good stretch of time, we can look into it.

tay. :)
